Hello,
I am on 50mg of Levothyroxine and have had a years worth of high TSH and T4 levels, similar to the one that I have just had.
I am posting my results and hope that you will all confirm what I think could be Hashimotos
Saw a lovely Doctor who sent me for all the tests that you recommended that I have.
I hope they make sense, here they are with the reference levels.
Serum TSH level 6.5mu/L (0.27-4.2)
Serum Free T4 level 21.2pmol/L (12.0-22.0)
Serum free triiodothyronine level 3.3pmol/L (3.1-6.8)
Thyroid peroxidase ab's 107ku/L (<60)
Serum vitamin B12 level 335ug/L (180.0-914.0)
Serum folate level 30ug/L (10.0-307.0)
Serumtotal 25 hydroxy vitamin D level 33.9nmol/L
<30-50nmol/L Vitamin D insufficiency, consider replacement
Am guessing my antibodies are outside the range and are positive and I have a lowish amount of Vitamin D, and the T3 is just within range.
Quite a quick turnaround from a sample given on Saturday!
I am hoping to see her again on Thursday or Friday.
Am guessing she will tell me to take Vitamin D supplements but not sure what else, she did talk about an Endocrinologist.
Thank you in advance
